Dental Implants

What are implants?

Implants are a way of replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is planted in the jaw bone to support a replacement tooth. This acts like the root of a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to support bridges or dentures.

Implant treatment normally has two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jaw. Then, when the jaw has healed, replacement teeth are attached to the implant. In some situations it is possible for temporary teeth to be attached to an implant at the time of fitting.

Would implants be right for me?

First, you should decide whether implants could be right for you. Contact us to arrange an implant consultation and discussion and we will let you know the possibilities. Our team will be only too happy to help you with any questions you may have.

If you decide to go ahead, this is what will happen.

Implants are placed in the jaw with a local anaesthetic. You can opt to have sedation for this procedure also.

The implant is screwed or pushed in and the gum and a small metal healing cap is screwed onto it.

Under the gum. the bone then grows round the implant to hold it firm. This takes several months.

Implants usually have two sections – the post in the jaw and an extension that is added later when the post is secure. Attaching the extension needs removal of the healing cap.You might have more than one implant. The replacement teeth might be fixed permanently (like a crown or bridge) or attached in a way which lets you remove them for cleaning (like a denture).
